Otto grew up in the megacity a few day's journey south of Rivertown but his parents fled when the climate turned overwhelmingly violent, relocating to Rivertown in hopes of a safer future for their son. These hopes were soon dashed as Otto's mother was killed scavenging when a building collapsed on top of her, and a few years later his father passed away after a prolonged battle with dysentery.
He has spent 30-odd years picking through the rubble of Rivertown, remembering choice spots for bedding down, and has hidden food caches in more places than he can remember. He always travels light, though his body has started failing him lately as a lifetime of bumps, knocks, and bruises have taken their toll.
Otto has an enormous heart and belief in the human spirit, despite seeing many awful things in his life. He craves companionship but refuses to leave Rivertown, the place where his parents perished and where he himself wants to remain.
